A university spokesperson confirmed the report to SportsDay's Chuck Carlton.

Kegler hasn't played since his freshman season at Mississippi State, when he averaged 9.7 points and 5.5 rebounds in 28.7 minutes per game. He sat out last season with Baylor to satisfy NCAA transfer requirements.

Baylor opens the season on Tuesday against Texas Southern. Kegler should be eligible to return from his suspension on Dec. 1 against Wichita State.
